We live in a condo complex on a second floor with a large balcony. We are only allowed to have an Electric Grill. After reading many of the other reviews for the other Electric Grills, I choose Meco because I did consumer research.

Having the Grill this summer was a great gift. Food tastes wonderful, doesn't take up too much space, has 2 fold out flaps to store food and such. Heats up quickly, easy temperatures gauge.

As for cleaning, take the metal rack and rinse with ease. If cleaned quickly after use, like any pot or pan with hot water, stays completely perfect. If not grill residue does build up in the electric area that gives you the heat to grill, and if you wait to long to clean you will smell the burning of the old excess drippings. (I clean immediate without any issue - the fiance although did not...)

The design of this grill leaves something to be desired. It is difficult to clean and the drip tray is a little aluminum loaf pan that is hard to insert into the holder without mangling it.
The electric burner has an aluminum pan under it which catches all the juices, grease, etc., which causes it to smoke heavily.
The rotissery works pretty good. My last one was a CharBroil and it was far superior to this one.

We've enjoyed this grill for over a year and it works very well. We don't have a gas hookup on our balconey since we live in an older high-rise condo building, so we are forced to have electric. This grill is the best of all of them. We've had two Char-Broil grills and both pathetically died after a year. We also tried an electric grill from Home Depot that annoyingly never held a constant temperature. This grill is still going strong and we expect it to for years to come. The hinged door is a must as well as the wooden racks which are not offered with any of the other electric grills. This is our forth electric grill and by far the best.

This is my second Meco Grill. I use the grill 2 or 3 times a week, year round. It is very sturdy and a high quality product. Most importantly this electric grill generates more heat than any electrick grill I have used before buying a Meco. The amount of heat generated is important for grilling delicious steaks, chops and chicken, that taste as good as if they were grilled over wood or charcoal It was not too dificult to assemble. Since it generates so much heat I found to extend it's life it was a good idea to line the interrior with heavv duty aluminum foil, to keep the grill clean. My previous Mecco grill lasted 6 years and was still useable. Another plus for this grill is the fact the heating element and control mechanism are easily replaceable and costs a mere $40. This is the only part that might wear out after a few years of heavy use. It was a steal at Amazon for $129 with free shipping. It is worth a lot more. Don't buy the model with a glass window, because it will turn black with soot from cooking and be useless.

I moved into a condo last year on the second floor and had to give up my gas grill (boo hoo) since the rules were that I could have an electric grill only. Found the Meco sight, purchased the grill with the rotisserie although have never attached it, it IS a pain in the neck to clean, the inside (aluminum?) piece right underneath the coils has warped from the heat to the point where I need a new one, and if I don't wash it regularly (difficult to get in and out and you get very greasy) it catches on fire since the coils are so close. Ah well, that's the downfall of an electric grill I guess.... Also, where the heck do I find those little drip pans that hang right underneath??? I put a wide dish underneath since I can't find any and refuse to create my own and the splatters have just about ruined my deck. I guess I could find maybe a tupperware or something that has high sides that can catch those splatters... All in all, food doesn't taste any different than a gas grill - charcoal I'm not sure - it does do a good job except for the messiness of cleaning it. I'm satisfied.

We moved to a condo a few years ago and could no longer use our gas barbecue. I had no idea that kind of grill was out there...thought electric grills were only George Foreman style. I bought this grill after doing quite a bit of research. We are very happy with it...it is a great alternative to charcoal or gas. It's also really nice to never worry about running out of propane or charcoal. There are several settings for cooking different types of food. It heats up quickly, cooks quickly and the food tastes grilled. My only problem is that there is quite a bit of smoke...but I guess that just means that it cooks like any barbecue grill. It's a nice size, wasn't too hard to put together, and was easy to learn to use. I would totally recommend this product.

received yesterday about 4pm--aprox 1 hour to assemble--cooked steaks at 6pm--outstanding results--recommend to pre- heat15 minutes and cook with lid closed--condo-perfect !!!

My former grill was this same one. I used it for ten years and loved every minute. I recommend it without reservation.

We are so happy with this grill! Living in a condo and having it on our deck is the ultimate convenience in grilling. It was easier to assemble than anticipated and the quality of the grill is excellent. Of course the food doesn't have that "grilled" flavor we were used to, but it's very good and we're going to try purchasing "smoked" chips for a different taste. I was a little hesitant ordering a grill on-line, but it was a very good choice and I would highly recommend it.

This is a great product. It does a great job with any type of meat I've ever cooked on it. It's a pain to clean though, and unfortunately i had the bright idea to also pressure wash it when I was cleaning the patio this summer. This method created a short in the wiring and now it doesn't work! It had operated perfectly for four years until I damaged it. We are really missing it because I used it at least 3 times a week minimum. I hope to replace it soon. It sure beats the danger of charcoal grilling, the annoyance of gas, and does a much much better job!!
